Before Use (Continued)

Precautions

Handling the unit

When shipping the unit

The original shipping carton and packing materials

come in handy. For maximum protection, re-pack the

unit as it was originally packed at the factory.

When setting the unit

The picture and sound of a nearby TV or radio may be

distorted during playback. In this case, position the unit

away from the TV or radio, or turn off the unit after

removing the disc.

To keep the surface clean

Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray,

near the unit. Do not leave rubber of plastic products in

contact with the unit for a long period of time. They will

leave marks on the surface.

Cleaning the unit

To clean the cabinet

Use a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty,

use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent

solution. Do not use strong solvents, such as alcohol,

benzine, or thinner, as these might damage the surface

of the unit.

To obtain a clear picture

The DVD+VCR is a high-tech, precision device. If the

optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or

worn down, the picture quality will be poor.

Regular inspection and maintenance are recommended

after every 1,000 hours of use. (This depends on the

operating environment.)

For details, please contact your nearest dealer.

Moisture Condensation

Never operate the DVD+VCR immediately after moving

it from a cold location to a warm location. Leave it for

two or three hours without operating it. If you use the

DVD+VCR in such a situation, it may damage

discs/tapes and internal parts.

Notes on Discs

Handling discs

Do not touch the playback side of the disc.

Hold the disc by the edges so that fingerprints will not

get on the surface.

Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.

Storing discs

After playing, store the disc in its case.

Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources of

heat, or leave it in a parked car exposed to direct sun-

light, as there may be a considerable temperature

increase inside the car.

Cleaning discs

Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor pic-

ture quality and sound distortion. Before playing, clean

Connections

Tips



Depending on your TV and other equipment you wish to

connect, there are various ways you could connect the

DVD+VCR. Use connections described on pages 11-13.



Please refer to the manuals of your TV, VCR, Stereo

System or other devices as necessary to make the best

connections.



For better sound reproduction, connect the DVD+VCR’s

DVD/VCR AUDIO OUT jack to the audio in jacks of your

amplifier, receiver, stereo or audio/video equipment. See

Optional, Preferred TV Connections on page 12-13.

Caution



Make sure the DVD+VCR is connected directly to the TV.

Tune the TV to the correct video input channel.



Do not connect the DVD+VCR’s DVD/VCR AUDIO OUT

jack to the phono in jack (record deck) of your audio

system.



Do not connect your DVD+VCR via your VCR. The DVD

image could be distorted by the copy protection system.

Connecting Antenna/Cable TV to

DVD+VCR

Disconnect the antenna leads from the rear of the

TV.

Identify the type of cable from your antenna. If it is

a round cable as illustrated, it is a 75 ohm coaxial

antenna cable. This cable will connect directly to

the jack marked ANT.IN on your DVD+VCR.

Tip

If your antenna lead wire is a flat type antenna cable,

connect it to a Antenna Adaptor (300-ohm to 75-ohm)

(not supplied) and slip the Adaptor onto the ANT.IN

jack. The Adaptor does not screw on to the DVD+VCR,

it just slips over the jack.

Without Cable Box

If your cable wire is connected to your TV without a converter

or descrambler box, unscrew the wire from your TV and attach

it to the ANT.IN jack on the DVD+VCR. Use the supplied round

coaxial cable to connect between the DVD+VCR’s RF.OUT

jack and the 75 ohm antenna input jack on the TV. With this

connection, you can receive all midband, super band, and

hyperband channels.

With Cable Box

If a converter is required in your cable system, follow the

instruction below:

The cable hookup permits both TV and DVD+VCR operation.

To view or record CATV channel

1 Tune the TV to the DVD+VCR output channel (CH 3 or 4).

2 Set the DVD+VCR channel selector to the output channel of

the Cable Converter box by pressing the CH/TRK (+/-) or

number (0-9) of your DVD+VCR. (Example: CH3)

3 Select the channel to view at the Cable Converter Box.

Notes

 With this connection, you CANNOT record one program

while viewing another.

 If you are using a cable box to tune channels, it is not nec-

essary to do Auto Channel Programming (Auto Channel Set)

as indicated on page 15.

FUNCTION OSD

The on-screen display of this DVD+VCR can be turned on or

off.

 FUNCTION OSD can be switched between ON and OFF by

pressing b/B.

AUDIO MODE

The DVD+VCR has two separate audio playback systems, the

high quality VHS Hi-Fi system and standard NORMAL mono

system. The same audio is generally recorded on both sys-

tems. The VHS Hi-Fi system plays on separate (left and right)

channels, and the NORMAL system plays monaural sound.

The normal track is always played so the cassette can be

played on a DVD+VCR that does not have VHS Hi-Fi.

 AUDIO MODE can be switched between HI-FI and

NORMAL by pressing b/B.

BROADCAST TYPE (STEREO/SAP/MONO)

Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) carries stereo and/or

Second Audio Program (SAP) bilingual signals. Set this display

to the desired position when both MTS stereo and SAP signals

are received. When only one of the MTS signal is received, the

DVD+VCR automatically selects the corresponding receiving

mode (Stereo or SAP) regardless of the selected position. For

normal operation, the display should be in the STEREO posi-

tion. The DVD+VCR will then record a STEREO program when

available, and record a mono program IF the program is NOT

IN STEREO.

For weak STEREO and/or SAP broadcasts, changing the dis-

play to mono may give clearer sound.

 BROADCAST TYPE can be switched among STEREO, SAP,

and MONO by pressing b/B.

AUDIO OUTPUT (STEREO/LEFT/RIGHT)

Used during playback [when AUDIO MODE (HI-FI/NORMAL) is

in HI-FI position] for selecting the audio output signals from the

AUDIO OUT terminals (L ch and R ch), and RF.OUT.

This display setting should normally be left in the stereo posi-

tion, so that when a stereo tape is played, the stereo sound will

be heard through the left and right channels. If a mono tape is

played and the audio output is set to stereo, the same mono

sound will be heard from both left and right channels.

 AUDIO OUTPUT can be switched among STEREO, LEFT,

and RIGHT by pressing b/B.

Press VCR MENU when finished.

PREPARATION

Before Operation - DVD Part (Continued)

Sound

Digital Audio Output

Each DVD disc has a variety of audio output options.

Set the player’s Digital Audio Output according to the

type of audio system you use.

DOLBY DIGITAL/PCM: Select “DOLBY DIGITAL/PCM”

if you connected the DVD+VCR’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT

jack to a Dolby Digital decoder (or an amplifier or other

equipment with a Dolby Digital decoder).

Stream/PCM: Select “Stream/PCM” if you connected

the DVD+VCR’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack to an ampli-

fier or other equipment with a DTS decoder, Dolby

Digital decoder or MPEG decoder.

PCM: Select when connected to a 2-channel digital

stereo amplifier. The DVD+VCR outputs sounds in the

PCM 2ch format when you play a DVD video disc

recorded on the Dolby Digital, MPEG1, or MPEG2

recording system.

Sample Frequency

To change the Sample Frequency setting, first select

the desired Digital Audio Output as indicated as above.

If your receiver or amplifier is NOT capable of handling

96KHz signals, select 48KHz. When this choice is

made, this unit will automatically convert any 96KHz

signals to 48KHz so your system can decode them.

If your receiver or amplifier is capable of handling

96KHz signals, select 96KHz. When this choice is

made, this unit will pass each type of signal through

without any further processing.

Others

The DRC, Vocal, PBC, Auto Play, B.L.E., Pluge and

DNR settings can be changed.

 Press v/V to select the desired item and press

ENTER. The setting of the selected item is changed

between On and Off.

Dynamic Range Control (DRC)

With the DVD format, you can hear a program’s sound-

track in the most accurate and realistic presentation

possible, thanks to digital audio technology. However,

you may wish to compress the dynamic range of the

audio output (the difference between the loudest sounds

and the quietest ones). Then, you may listen to a movie

at a lower volume without losing clarity of sound. Set

DRC to On for this effect.

Vocal

Set Vocal to On only when a multi-channel karaoke

DVD is playing. The karaoke channels on the disc will

mix into normal stereo sound.

PBC

Set Playback Control (PBC) to On or Off.

On:

Video CDs with PBC are played according to the PBC.

Off:

Video CDs with PBC are played the same way as Audio CDs.

Auto Play

You can set up the DVD Player so a DVD disc automat-

ically starts playing whenever the DVD is inserted.

If Auto Play mode is set to On, this DVD player will

search a title where playback time is longest and then

play back the title automatically.

On: Auto Play function is activated.

Off: Auto Play function is not activated.

Note

The Auto Play function may not work for some DVDs.

B.L.E. (Black Level Expansion)

To select the black level of playback pictures. Set your

preference and monitor’s ability.

On: Expanded grey scale. (0 IRE cut off)

Off: Standard grey scale. (7.5 IRE cut off)

Pluge (Blacker than Black)

For proper adjustment of your television brightness

settings utilizing a commercially available test disc.

On:

Select when you adjust the level of your TV using a

commercially available test disc that contains pluge signals.

Off: For normal use.

DNR (Digital Noise Reduction)

You can reduce ambient noise in the picture.

DNR1: Normal level

DNR2: Expanded level.

Off: Off

Notes

– Actual picture enhancement may vary depending on the

quality of the disc.

– While the DNR2 (expanded level) can provide additional

improvement in the reduction of noise in the video signal, it

may produce undesirable picture artifacts on some discs.

Should this occur, select a more appropriate DNR level (nor-

mal or off).

– Depending on the disc, some picture detail may be lost by

the picture enhancement.

–ADVD audio disc with Dolby Digital or DTS soundtrack may

be played, some DVD audio discs include moving pictures

which may be modified by the above processes.
